Rather, your download mechanism un-gzipped it for you: Netscape and others
often do unless you explicitly save the link contents. The actual file
is
auk% file Rnews_2002-2.ps.gz
Rnews_2002-2.ps.gz: gzip compressed data - deflate method , original
file name
(after ftp-ing which is safe in this regard).
This is so commonplace I am surprised you have not met it before.
